Mass Effect 3 Confusion with mods - Noob question

[Frank6375]

So I've tried over and over to mod ME3. I have tried with two different versions of ME3Explorer, Gibbed, and Texmod. (I have attempted with ME3Explorer v3.0.0 and had difficulty locating what i needed to use, so instead i used v0109 which was much easier, due to having the tutorial from the following link:

http://www.girlplaysgame.com/mass-effect/mass-effect-how-to-mod-to-your-hearts-content/video-tutorial-how-to-install-mass-effect-mods/

A download from the website comes with multiple files, the most important being: PCC, TPF, and UPK.

 

My most common attempt goes a little like this:

1) copy the PCC file in the hair mod download from the mentioned website and paste it into the CookedPCConsole within the ME3 folder.

 

2) Update and save PCConsoleTOC.bin in ME3Explorer's TOCBinUpdater.

 

3) Open Gibbed and open up a saved game profile.

 

4) Navigate to Raw>Squad>Player>Appearence>Head Morph>Hair Mesh.

 

((This is where I believe the problem lies. In the tutorial video on the website, she navigates to Hair Mesh and there seems to be a code already in place. She erases it and puts her own. For me, the space was empty.)

 

5) Nagivate to Head Morph>Texture Parameters.

 

((Once again, when she opens texture parameters in the video, there are several members in the section. For me, it's empty and I have to put in my own entries.))

 

6) Save file, exit gibbed.

 

7) Open Texmod, set target application as the ME3.exe. Use the TPF file from the site download as the package.

 

After this, it SHOULD have worked. But as I mentioned, it continues to fail. I double checked to see if Gibbed had even actually saved the entries that I placed in Hair Mesh and Texture Parameters. When I navigated back to it, my entries were not saved. All of the data I manually put in was gone.

 

Can anyone help me out? Been trying this for about a day and it's a little frustrating.

 

 

Pictures below:

1- Gibbed. No data for Hair Mesh.

2- Gibbed. No entries / members in Texture Parameters.
